Vaping Benefits the Health of Asthmatic Patients

A two-year study conducted by Professor Riccardo Polosa, with 18 asthmatic smokers. Polosa's team took the participants through a transition of smoking to vaping over the two-year period.

The participants had their lung function tested every 6-months.

The test measured:

Methacholine PC20, AHR and ACQ levels

Airway hyper-responsiveness

Asthma control

Asthma exacerbations

Measurable tobacco consumption levels

Overall lung function

The results from these tests were compared to the same tests carried out on the control group which consisted of non-smoking asthmatic patients.

Although some participants did not transition perfectly to vaping, Polosa's team noticed a gradual increase in respiratory function - and even though the few admitted still using both cigarettes and vaping, there was still a significant positive difference.

If you have the time and patience to read the study, you'll be a happy vaper as you reach the conclusion Polosa comes to; that vaping is significantly less damaging to your lungs than smoking!
